The reason they’re defiant is a combination of cognitive dissonance and pride.
Cognitive dissonance because they’ve been told for 2 years that Covid is the most deadly disease since the bubonic plague and that the jab is the safest and most revolutionary product since penicillin.
Pride because wearing a mask/taking the jab is effortless virtue signaling that got them social brownie points. They could Lord their compliance over those who didn’t comply and it give them a superiority complex that they don’t want to let go of.
